I then just use the direction arrows on the hand controller to pull it back across every so often. Don't take this as a slight on the goto - I wouldn't be without it and any alleged jerkiness is non-existing on DSOs and other lower-mag/wide field targets.
That's interesting. Sometimes if Im trying to resolve very small details on a planet I feel like it helps to turn off the cooling fans on my scope momentarily. Maybe its the same sort of thing?
